Molly:
But who would lie?
Kristina:
Hey Molly. What are you doing?
Molly:
Looking at stuff about Mom.
Kristina:
Let me see. How did you know where to find this garbage?
Molly:
My friend sent me some links. Look, this person-
Kristina:
Anyone who sent you these links is not a friend. Just like that
mean clique of girls at your school. They like to gossip and invent
stuff just to make a person sound bad.
Molly:
Do you think that's what happened to Mom?
Kristina:
I know it did, I mean listen to this. Does it sound like mom to
you? Between the fathers of her children and affairs in between,
D.A. Davis seems to be using Port Charles as a setting for musical
beds.
Alexis:
Kristina, Why on earth would you be showing that to your sister?
You know better than that.
Alexis: I am so sorry that you had to find out about it that way,
because I wanted to be able to tell you myself.
Molly:
The blog says that you had an affair with the mayor.
Alexis:
I was involved with him, yes. And it was a huge mistake.
Molly:
Why? Is he your friend?
Alexis:
Yes, he was. There was a time in my life when I was very sad, and
he was very nice to me, and I just let it go too far. And I shouldn't
have done it.
Molly:
But why does everyone know?
Alexis:
Well, because the mayor told the press and now everyone is talking
about it. And the worst part about all this is the fallout that
could land on either one of you. This is something that I did wrong,
it's my problem and it's not your responsibility or Kristina's responsibility
to try to fix it okay?
Molly:
Okay.
Alexis:
Unfortunately, what happened with the mayor is being exaggerated,
and it's being twisted into a lot of lies.
Molly: But who would lie?
Alexis: Well, people who are really scared. Like the mayor, like
his political opponents, and unfortunately there's not a lot we
can do about it.
Molly:
But what if my friends ask what happened?
Kristina:
Trust me they will. I've already got hundreds of messages on my
page
Alexis:
And if they ask just tell them that your Mother is acting according
to the dictates of her conscience. Sweetheart-
Molly:
Wait, what does that mean?
Kristina:
Pretty much nothing. I vote for keeping our mouths shut.
Alexis:
Good idea. Okay, honey. Would it be okay if we talked about this
later? Because you're supposed to be at Sarah's. 5:00. Come on,
let's go.
Kristina: Can you drop me off at the library?
Alexis:
Actually I'd prefer if you stayed here. I'm going to talk to you
when I get back.
Alexis:
We need to discuss what happened here.
Kristina:
Sure.
Alexis:
Would you mind turning that off and looking at me please? I understand
how hurt you are, and how disappointed you are in me. You have every
reason to be. But you shouldn't have shown Molly that blog, because
she's too young to understand the hateful things they said about
me. You're her older sister. You need to protect her no matter how
angry you are at me.
Kristina:
No scandal blogs for Molly. Got it. Can I go now?
Alexis: No. Sit. What is wrong with you? Why are you acting this
way? What happened to the thoughtful, compassionate, mature daughter
that I could always count on?
Kristina:
Maybe she changed when she found out her mom slept with a married
man.
Kristina:
All my life you pushed me to have these impossible high standards
and principles. Except now I find out it's do as I say and not as
I do
Alexis:
I'm not perfect. I've made more mistakes
than I can count. But I try to learn from them and move
forward.
Kristina:
Well, the moving forward part you got nailed.
Alexis:
Why are you being so unforgiving?
Kristina:
Look. You're always on my case for me to be perfect. My grades,
my activities, my whole life!
Alexis:
That I put too much pressure on you?
Kristina:
Yeah mom!
Alexis:
Or because I tell you how wonderful you are all the time and how
much potential you have, and I don't want to see you waste it?
Kristina:
Do you see me wasting anything? I know my futures important trust
me I want to go to Yale just as badly as you want me to.
Alexis:
I want to support you. I want you to feel like I'm supporting you
and I certainly don't want you to feel like I'm trying to control
you. And if I've given you that impression, I'm sorry. And maybe
we should both try a little harder to remember that we're both human.
Kristina:
Right, so you can do whatever you want, and then when you get caught
it's suddenly "oh well, I'm only human"?
Alexis:
I've made some bad choices. I certainly hope that you'll make wiser
ones. But I am your mother and it would be very nice if you would
treat me that way.
Alexis:
Kristina I have to go back to work. Kristina? Kristina! Hello? I
have to go back to work
Kristina:
I guess you'll be pretty busy dealing with the fallout from the
scandal.
Alexis:
I'm getting really tired of the snarky remarks
Kristina:
I meant you'll probably be working a lot.
Alexis:
Sorry, I'm a little defensive about all this, all right?
Kristina:
Apology accepted.
Alexis:
If Molly asks any more questions can you try to distract her? That
would really help me a lot
Kristina:
Molly is pretty much the innocent victim here. Of course I'll try
and protect her
Alexis:
I love you.
Kristina:
I know.
Kristina:
Come on Michael. Where are you?
Dominic: All alone? Hey genius. You remember me?
